About the Airport

The Charlevoix Municipal Airport is located in the northwestern Lower Peninsula of Michigan and is owned by the City of Charlevoix. The current airport location (approximately half a mile southwest of beautiful downtown Charlevoix) was established in the early-to-mid 1950s and has had many upgrades and improvements over the years.

The City of Charlevoix assumed direct operation and staffing on April 1, 2011. The Charlevoix Municipal Airport is a dynamic place to visit and work offering both general aviation and commercial services. The airport has a strong component of business and leisure jet traffic as well as two charter services serving Beaver Island. The charter companies log over 15,000 enplanements each year qualifying the airport for up to $1 million in annual FAA grant funding. For the fall of 2018, grant funding has been earmarked for the construction of a South Taxiway. This new taxiway is the needed infrastructure for future corporate hangar development.
